I have no idea why I could not stay asleep last night, or why I thought I was hungry.
It is bed time, and I feel comfortably well fed. My after dinner blood sugar reading is good .
I hope that means I will sleep well.
I pulled...

I did not sleep well for part of the night last night. While I was awake I suddenly remembered a place I went as a teen.
I do not remember who it was that took me the first time. I am not sure, but I think when we were dating my...

There are clouds in the sky, and we saw places that had received some rain as we drove back from Newton. Even had a few sprinkles on our windshield.
It has made both Bob and I sleepy.
For lunch we had some very nice sandwiches...

Earlier today the humidity has been down. Coupled with a nice breeze from the west it has been good to work outside. I have trimmed up a tree and cut out some Johnson grass. I have mowed a bit.
Bob took care of all the fluids on...

I thought the doctor was just having the one enzyme checked but the did a whole liver panel. And everything looks perfect.
The standards for the lipase are different since it is not for a clinical trial, they do not have to be as...

Wednesday I saw my new cardiologist. He seemed surprised to see me, but he had not gotten my history from the other cardiologist or my primary yet. I do not have any concerning symptoms and he listened to my heart, etc. and says I...

We have eaten and I even went out and mowed a bit after putting the leftovers away.
It is still 90 F out there. We MAY have storms starting at midnight though.
I have done most of my regular online stuff, and paid some bills. I...

Well, Bruno's "help" and the weather, that is. Neither Bob nor I slept well last night. He is in napping now and I may join him.
I was changing the sheets and Bruno laid on them and would not get up, so they did not get spread...

Is that too much information? I have a cardiology appointment in a little over three hours. I got up at 5 this morning.
I needed to get the music chosen for next Sunday, and I ate a good breakfast. I have been online doing all my...

We did not have a lot of fancy furniture growing up, but if mom could select it, it usually was quality.
The two small bookcases I moved yesterday were some that I believe my parents had before I was born. I have memories of them...

While Bob is gone I am moving furniture. It is much easier that way.
Also there is chicken marinating in Italian dressing. I will bake it, and it will be tender and full of flavor. I am going to put fresh taragon with it when I...

Do you remember me saying that as I peeled and sliced the peaches I would put them in lemon water to prevent browning? I did that all the way through. Each time, though, I saved the water.
That lemon water also had bits of peach...

We were up, ready for church and I lost focus and track of time. We were almost late.
Several of us talked a long time after church and then Bob and I went to the laundromat to wash the bathroom rugs. I did not take my purse in....

I came here almost first this morning because I have been getting here so late.
Usually I do a few earning sites first.
I have some sausage links cooking in the skillet, and I will have some of my banana bread along with them. I...

It did break into a rainy spell as I was heading out to meet Jane for coffee. We went to a coffee shop called Rhubarb Bakery. I am trying to watch my caffeine a bit, so I had a sparkling lemonade with lavender syrup. Also a...

I woke up with extra aches and pains today and have not done much so far. l did take a nap and get them pretty well under control, though.

I did hear from my doctor's nurse. They thanked me for bringing by the labs.
The doctor will want to see me. If I get to be in a lot of pain I should go to the ER. She says that the labs were long enough past that they may have...

Still no return call. I believe that since I am not symptomatic we will likely address this at my next scheduled appointment in about two months.
Now Monday, I did just what most of the websites said would make me sick, that is,...

We have eaten some, and I have peeled and sliced about a third of the box. I am freezing them in quantities that will make a good pie.
I do not put any sugar on them, just some lemon juice, because I do not have any citric acid,...
